First, credit to the employees who consistently provide great service. Most greet you with a smile, and some remember your name and your order. They pay attention to substitutions and special requests, and their friendliness feels genuine. Shout-out to those employees. Where this location falls short is consistency. My go-to order is always the same: a 20-ounce peanut butter protein shake with creatine, glutamine, vegan protein, and coconut milk instead of dairy milk because I'm lactose intolerant. I also ask for it to be double-blended because, without that, it comes out closer to ice cream more often than not. A smoothie or shake should be smooth and drinkable, but the result depends heavily on who makes it. My most recent visit will likely be my last. I ordered my usual shake, double-blended, and the manager prepared it. My previous interactions with her have felt unwelcoming, and this visit didn't improve that impression. Despite my request, the shake was again thick enough that I had to eat it rather than drink it. As I headed back to my room and continued eating it, I found small pieces of white and silver material that appeared to be plastic. I spat them out and set them aside. They looked like fragments of a container or bottle seal, although I can't confirm where they came from. I didn't return to report it. Based on my previous interactions with the manager, I was uncomfortable raising the issue and didn't want another unpleasant interaction. That means the business didn't have an opportunity to address it, but it doesn't change what I experienced. As convenient as this location is, the inconsistent shakes, my interactions with the manager, and finding what appeared to be plastic in my drink are enough for me to take my money elsewhere. To the employees who provide genuinely good service: thank you, and keep up the good work. read more

This place has really good food and smoothies. The employees were also very nice. They seemed to be a bit understaffed though and took a little long to make our food because they were busy with other orders. read more

I saw Ryan Bros' cold brew flights on Instagram and decided to stop in while in the area. The inside of this place is so cozy. They had a little bookshelf in the corner and plenty of seating. Perfect spot to relax, read, etc. Service was so kind!! I spilled one of our flight glasses and the barista immediately helped me clean it up and made us a replacement. Amazing customer service, delicious drinks, and cozy spot! If I lived closer, I'd become a regular. read more

Man....I remember when Ryan Brothers took care in their coffee. Granted, that was a long time ago, but still, 10-15 years ago you knew if you were going to get coffee from them, it was going to be good. Hate to say it but this location...well, to be fair they don't list espresso on their menu...but when I asked the barista, "yeah, we have espresso!" was her response. I feel like I need to take these signs for what they are- more like warnings. To save you time- they don't have good espresso. They have a weird, watery thing that resembles a dark, overroasted pour-over. I suppose if you're getting a blended drink or coffee with sweetener and milk, it would be ok, but if you're looking for espresso- Cafe Moto is right down the street. Also, at the time of this writing, their location is incorrect on Yelp. They show that they are two buildings south of where they actually are. They're really one building north (north-west?) of the parking garage. I've sent in an edit request but not sure how long that takes with Yelp HQ. Edit: Owner contacted me and instead of taking responsibility for the poor quality, attempted to call out my negative reviews for coffee. Ryan Bros if you're still reading- I LOVE good espresso, and when I love it, I want the world to know. When it's bad, I think the world should know too, that's how this platform works. In case there needs to be a recap of the good vs the bad on some recent places: Naples Ristorante Downtown Disney- 2 (read review for why) Revolution Roasters Carlsbad- 5 Revolution Roasters Oceanside- 5 Barefoot Coffee Roasters- 4 Bound Coffee Company- 5 Ignite Coffee- 5 Jitters Coffee Pub- 3 (read review for why) Coffee Shop Corner- 2 (read review for why) Banana Dang Coffee- 5 True Love Coffee- 5 Lofty (Carlsbad)- 4 That's just in the last two months. If you're trying to say I'm a tough customer, go check out how these other guys are doing espresso and compare yours. Check your grind size, check the time it takes to pull your shot, check your beans...If your baristas need a timer and a scale to get your shots right, then that's something you should invest in. Blaming the customer is wild to me when you should be taking responsibility and fixing your operation. I know it's frustrating to run a business, I've been there before. But why serve it if it's not good? read more

This location is the best Ryan Bros I have been to. The Acai bowls are amazing, and I love their coffee drinks - I think I have an addiction to the Cinnamon Mocha Latte, it is so delicious! I think my only complaint is their potatoes in the burritos, they seem to be undercooked. But the staff more than make up for their spud shortcomings. I think they have some of the most down to earth and friendly employees at a coffee shop I have been to. They also always play some great jams! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Though the service and employees are great here at this establishment it does suck that they never have Calypso drinks when I visit. And how the employees don't have a clear schedule of when they will be refilling on the Calypsos, of course this is no fault of the employees but rather the one who provide the shipment of drink. It would be great if they could get a steady restock or something. read more

I've given this place way too many chances! Twice they've given me a burrito with the potatoes still hard and cold in the middle, I've had expired milk in my drink, staff forgot about our order 3 times in one week (they gave us a free pastry to apologize but 3 times!?) Today my bacon wasn't even cooked SO GROSS It sucks when there aren't many options on base and sometimes I'm stuck on a 30 min lunch so i dont have much of a choice but to keep eating here. Also, the place is under staffed. I've waited at the cash register for 10 minutes (not exaggerating) with no one in front of me. I can't be upset at the staff because it was only 2 guys and a ton of people waiting but the shop owners need to get it together 2 stars because it USED to good so there's potential. Whatever cook you guys let go, call them back read more

Had an acai bowl and it was delicious. Aldon was very personable. And the service was great. Chill vibe bro

Everytime I eat a breakfast burrito, the potatoes are always hard and cold. Kills the appetite everytime

I was visiting San Diego from the bay area and happened to stumble across this coffee shop. I was able to speak to the staff and he (Ismael) recommended that I try the tiramisu that he gets through a veteran owned company. I got that in addition to a mocha. I love how the owner incorporates other local vendors. read more

The mocha is perfect if you want something not to sweet & the turkey avocado wrap is a must try its one of my favs if you like pesto. Love that they play a variety of music and the employees are always attentive even when they are busy! read more

For a place that's small it had a lot to offer . Employees are always welcoming and the classic açaí is a must have . I always order the vanilla lavender latte and it never disappoints. I do it through online ordering, I just pick up my items when ready. Easy, convenient and skips the line. read more

Best coffee in town! Great people, great place, great owners My wife and I have had a long attachment to this great coffee.

two very unprofessional staff seemed as if they didn't know what they were doing. i highly doubt that the jitter big is supposed to be super liquidy and have the coconut flakes blended with it. the taste is okay but the consistency is god awful. i say unprofessional because both girls were talking about relationships and im guessing a mutual friend being fake. i don't know how you hire people here but id look more into the back grounds. read more
